Dems haven’t had more than 48 senators in over ten years, but yes they do filibuster all the time. Fun fact, votes on SCOTUS picks and cabinet appointments can’t be filibustered under current senate rules, in part because the GOP tried to filibuster Obama appointees.
Ok, my point may have been that they can use it but don’t know how to effectively … because I’m not sure you’ve noticed how the bar has been moved so far right that Reagan is now considered a moderate centrist
Have you noticed how we don’t have many (almost any) new laws passing? The filibuster is why. The house passes all kinds of vile bills and the senate promptly lets the bills die
